Farmers turning to organic have to face many challenges. One of the most ignored, paradoxically, is the reconstruction of professional patterns that such a decision entails. We will intend here to show how going organic and making his way along significantly lead to the change as well as to the restoration of values. We selected three typical cases within a large sample of respondents, as they reveal significant features to be considered. According to the stages or circumstances, it might be the expertise acquired, or self-reliance, or a new way to find an easy-to-access market, and so on. All these components match to set things in motion and prompt change of attitudes and representations. How stands the farmer and what means organic farming to him, are not fixed for ever neither set in stone, before certification or afterwards as well. Our survey shows an astonishing, noticeable variety of career paths and ways of taking them. It highlights the need to better understand what makes sense for a farmer when seeking for a new position and experimenting new practices and to which extent it is operative, especially if we consider the increasing strain on such an activity nowadays.
